Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships

The FLAS and other fellowships application for summer 2015 and academic year 2015-16 is now closed. The application for 2016-17 will open in October 2015.

FLAS Fellowships support undergraduate, graduate and professional students in acquiring modern foreign languages and area or international studies competencies. Students from all UW departments and professional schools are encouraged to apply. FLAS Fellowships are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Contingent on funding from the U.S. Department of Education, the eight National Resource Centers of the University of Washington's Jackson School of International Studies will offer Academic Year 2015-16 and Summer 2015 FLAS Fellowships in these languages.
